Is it really easy when using a tape changer?

If you follow amdump with an amtape eject command, will you not be
ejecting the tape in the 'current' slot?

Once amdump has finished, isn't the current slot incremented? Implying
that you'll be ejecting the tape in the next slot, which is most likely
the one amanda will be wanting to use next.

I'm not quite clear about this yet, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

And what if amanda uses more than one tape in a single run? Is there a
nice way to have it eject only the tapes it used?

Thanks,

Simon.
